The Premium version is available for a limited time to owners of previous versions of Perfect Photo Suite for $89.95.

Comments

Here we go again with the annual announcement from OnOne Software that they want some more money for a product that is becoming increasingly bloated and harder to use. In their attempt to move from being a supplement for Adobe LR or PS to being a replacement, the product has changed and become clogged with menus and navigation challenges. It used to just install and run, now multiple errors and freezes. I, for one, will not be “upgrading” this time. In fact, find myself using NIK filters more often and only using Perfect Resize from the suite.

I am the same way. Milking us for more money. Portrait Professional does the same thing. I stop using the product. All the products are becoming the same anyways.. How may features can a person possibly use. How many of them can you even remember exist in the product.
